Is gymnastics effective for the eyes? Review overview

Today no one is immune from vision problems - we spend the lion's share of our working time and leisure at the computer. This means that even perfect vision over the years can turn into myopia. In a sense, we are all internally ready for this: we do not see anything wrong with starting to wear glasses or contact lenses in the same way as thousands of other people do. But myopia is not the norm, and you can get rid of glasses with a little effort.

Why exactly gymnastics for the eyes?

If an examination by an ophthalmologist already indicates a serious deterioration in vision, a person has 5 options for further action:

• Accept and leave everything as it is. Not the most reasonable way out, because the situation will only get worse further. Imagine how much time and money you will spend on systematic visits to the doctor, selection and purchase of new optics as your vision further deteriorates? Let's consider other options better;

• Sign up for a course of special exercises. In medical centers and ophthalmological clinics, there are simulators on which people with visual impairments are invited to conduct 15-20 sessions for vision correction. This allows you to achieve only a short-term positive effect, in addition, not everyone has the opportunity and desire to attend such classes;
• Decide to have surgery. A radical way, but not always successful. Practice shows that in most patients after surgery, either complications arise, or after some time, vision falls again, or both at once. Therefore, let's face it - it makes sense to contact a surgeon only when no conservative methods will certainly help;
• Treat eyes with folk remedies. On the one hand, healing decoctions, infusions and lotions really relieve stress, fatigue and inflammation well, without causing harm to a person and not emptying his wallet. On the other hand, folk techniques are ineffective in cases where serious vision correction is required;

• Do gymnastics for the eyes. Perhaps this is the most correct decision. First, gymnastics really stops the process of deteriorating vision, and sometimes reverses it, returning the indicators to normal. Secondly, this technique does not require either material or special time costs - half an hour a day at most. And thirdly, even if eye gymnastics does not help you as well as you expected, you will not lose anything in any case.

Reviews of people about gymnastics for the eyes

To assess the effectiveness of a particular method of vision correction, it is best to ask about it from those who have applied it in practice. That is why we decided to conduct a large-scale study of feedback on gymnastics for the eyes on thematic forums where people with poor eyesight gather and consult.

The opinions of Runet users were distributed as follows:

• Gymnastics for the eyes helps me - 43%;
• Gymnastics helps with myopia, but weakly - 11%;
• Regular gymnastics for the eyes helps to stop the deterioration of vision - 8%;
• Gymnastics for the eyes is wasted time - 19%;
• I am at a loss to answer, because I have not tried / just started trying - 19%.

More than 40% of impartial positive reviews is a lot, because people were not asked to confirm or deny the effectiveness of any medicine or paid method of vision correction, they just expressed their opinion. It should be noted that most of the respondents who praised gymnastics for the eyes honestly warned that it helps only on condition of prolonged regular exercise (from 3 months to a year).

In fairness, we emphasize that according to the results of the survey, there was not a single person with myopia who would say that gymnastics allowed him to fully restore his vision to normal and refuse glasses.

Approximately 19% of the respondents consider this technique to be absolutely useless, but mostly these are people who have done eye gymnastics for 1-2 months and quit without seeing a quick result.

Those survey participants who attributed gymnastics to ineffective methods of treating myopia say that with the help of such exercises, vision can be improved by a maximum of half a diopter. But let's think: is it so little?

The general conclusion from reviews about gymnastics for the eyes is that the technique is worth trying it on yourself. More than half of the people surveyed confirm its effectiveness to one degree or another. How much gymnastics will help you, you will not know until you try. One thing is certain - it will not bring harm, will not require costs, and will not take much time.
